SPAM Message. Legit? was created by lefttern
Edit by Charles:
No, it is not legit! That message was sent by a spammer. If a PM does not come from "Charles" or "Marcus", then it is not from a forum admin. Please see the posts I made (currently) at the end of this thread.

I just recently received this message and wondering if it is legit:

I don't know, but it seems bogus. You might want to break up the link in your message so someone doesn't accidentally click it.

I received the same message - smells bad. The "forum administrator" that sent the message (JosephWard) had 0 posts.
